Actor Vince Vaughn: We Have a Right to Bear Arms So We Can Resist an ‘Abusive Government’

Actor Vince Vaughn–Old School, Wedding Crashers, True Detective–told British GQ magazine that Americans ultimately have the right to bear arms in order to resist “the supreme power of a corrupt and abusive government.”

In the same sitting he explained that the right to bear arms is an individual right and that banning guns from schools is like “banning forks in an attempt to stop making people fat.”

According to British GQ, Vaughn addressed “the American right to own a gun” by saying he supports Americans having guns “in public,” not just in their homes.

Vaughn added:

We have the right to bear arms to resist the supreme power of a corrupt and abusive government. It’s not about duck hunting; it’s about the ability of the individual. It’s the same reason we have freedom of speech. It’s well known that the greatest defense against an intruder is the sound of a gun hammer being pulled back.
